Changing the Wireless Channel
There are a number of operating channels from which you can choose—
in the United Kingdom (and most of Europe) and Australia, there are 13.
In other countries, there are other channel requirements. Your Router is
configured to operate on the proper channels for the country in which
you reside. The channel can be changed if needed. If there are other
wireless networks operating in your area, your network should be set to
operate on a channel that is different than the other wireless networks.
Extension Channel
The IEEE 802.11n draft specification allows the use of a secondary
channel to double the bandwidth (see the “Using the Bandwidth Switch”
section on the next page). An appropriate extension channel will be
displayed when operating in 40MHz mode (see the “Using the Wireless
Mode Switch” section below). The channel can be changed if necessary.
Using the Wireless Mode Switch
This switch allows you to set the Router’s wireless modes. There are
several modes.
Note: Some modes may require firmware updates to be enabled.
1) Off
This mode will turn OFF the Router’s access point, so no wireless
devices can join the network. Turning off the wireless function of
your Router is a great way to secure your network when you are
away from home for a long period of time, or don’t want to use the
wireless feature of the Router at a certain time.
2) 802.11g
Setting the Router to this mode will allow only 802.11g- and
802.11b-compliant devices to join the network. N/draft 802.11n
devices will operate at the 802.11g speed only.
3) 802.11b & 802.11g & 802.11n
Setting the Router to this mode will allow N/draft 802.11n-,
802.11g-, and 802.11b-compliant devices to join the network.
4) 802.11n
Setting the Router to this mode will allow only N/draft 802.11n-
compliant devices to join the network, keeping out 802.11g and
802.11b devices.
